With these two quotes in mind, we are lead on an interesting musical and lyrical journey. Starting with a screeching keyboard intro, the song winds its way energetically through the first two verses, one of the most powerful lines is:

Sliced up into fragments of a life
Dissolved,We can never untwist this tangled web
It continues down the chain

Which is likely a poetic description of the way Rongey (lyrical writer) believes we are taken at a young age, and, as Rand says, molded and adjusted to fit in to the mold society has prepared for us. From here, the music slows down, and we have our first Bill Pohl ethereal guitar solo. Bill's sound is so unique, and so flawless, that it defies description. A low, repetitive base line with soft keyboard fills the background as Bill slowly enters the darkness that the music has provided. He enters slowly, and never turns the light on higher than that of candlelight, until he's prodded on by the growing keyboard intensity. The song goes through one more verse, then bleeds into the next song, an instrumental called In The Factory. This song evokes images without using words. It uses harmonic dissonance to help the listener envision grand machines, whether they be physical or metaphorical. It then softens, and lulls the listener into a false sense of uneasy peace, before exploding into a crescendo that seems to carry on forever and ever. Leading us upward and upward toward complexity, and confusion. Then, we seem to be transported to some point above it all, looking down upon the musical landscape that's just been presented to us, and left to ponder and recollect.

It is at this point that we are presented with the next song, The Doorman. It would seem at once that since these three songs are linked together, that they somehow comprise some theme as a whole. While this is possible, it is not completely apparent. Comprachicos and In The Factory can certainly be seen as two parts of a larger story, but The Doorman, while it could loosely be part of the over arching story of the two earlier songs, is more of an enigma.

Again, we are treated to the lush keyboards and flowing guitar riffs of Kurt and Bill. The soft yet solid bass lines of Matt Hembree and the subtle and but accurate drumming of John Livingston are more present on the fusion inspired introduction to The Doorman. We are also treated to our first listen to Bill's softer and raspier voice during certain passages of this tune.
